Enough! Just Get It Over With Already!

"In talking to some people up in Washington, the feeling I'm getting is that there will be [something happening] between the General Managers' Meetings and the Winter Meetings. That leaves a big gap, but I think we will know something shortly after [general manager] Mike [Rizzo] gets back from Chicago. So I guess that would lead toward this week or early next week. I think we will have some type of decision made."(Jim Riggleman, via Nationals dot com, 11/9/2009)

"We're talking to all kinds of candidates, gathering opinions and perspectives. As you know, I enjoy the opportunity to do long searches, because you get lots of insights [into your own team], and different looks and opinions, and those can be valuable. ... I think we'll have a decision soon, but I don't know how soon."(Stan Kasten, via Washington Post, 11/9/2009)
